New cue attribute "solo" (in 10.1.0)
New cue attribute "solo" (in 10.1.0)
Would it be possible to have a "solo" attribute for a cue, which means that no other cue can start until the solo cue has ended? On more than one occasion I've had two cues fire together as a result of accidentally hitting the space bar twice.

Re: New cue attribute "solo"
Coming in SCS 10. There will be a new cue property called "Exclusive Cue". The following is an extract from a draft of the SCS 10 Help file:
Exclusive Cue: Making a cue exclusive makes sure your operator does not accidentally start another audio or video
cue while this one is still playing. It is really just that - a way of reducing unintentional cue starts. If an exclusive cue is
running then the Go button is disabled if the cue displayed on the Go button is or contains an audio or video cue.
When the exclusive cue completes, the Go button is then enabled if applicable.
Hot Key cues may be started while an exclusive cue is playing.
In keeping with the goal of the exclusive cue property being a way to reduce unintentional cue starts, if a Hot Key cue
itself is marked as exclusive then this means that the Hot Key cue may not be re-started while it is playing. So if the
operator accidentally presses the hot key twice instead of once then the second press will be ignored (provided the cue
has the exclusive cue property set).

That'll do nicely, Sir!
